It happened that I got a new SSD for my netbook (Toshiba NB205), so I installed aptosid fresh, from the 2010-02 CD.

One thing I noticed -- even after I clearly set the timezone to "New York" and/or "Montreal", the clock was 1 hour too early (Central Time). I ran "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" and got aggravated -- it would not change to the correct time. That all happened on Saturday. I thought maybe there was some confusion about the conversion to Standard Time (in the US, this happens 7 NOV).

On Sunday I booted my netbook. It came up the correct time. It has been correct ever since.

I dunno ..... go figure .... funny things happen, sometimes.

Damn, I just reported that as my solution. Sorry I didn't read this. Thanks.
